"Let be" if possible

The hardest lesson that I have not learned yet is to "Let be".

"If it be [now], 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be [now]; if it be not now, yet it [will] come-the readiness is all. Since no man, of aught he leaves, what is't to leave betimes, let be" (Act V ii 220-224)

What if I am exactly like Dr. Faustus? I seek knowledge and the understanding, but rather than world and spiritual consciousness, I seek the knowledge of people.

I know I should not dig but that is all I know. I don't know why I want to delve into someone else until everything is exposed, leaving both of us vulnerable but that is all I know.

Am I sadistic or masochistic? That is all I know.
